HERMANN JULIUS KRIIMPELMANN, OF DATTELN, GERMANY.

BARREL-MOIST.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 768,808, dated August30, 1904.

Application filed November 2, 1908. Serial No. 179376. (No model.)

To all whom, it may concern.-

Be it known that I, H ERMANN JULIUs KRL'M- PELMANN, a citizen ofGermany, residing at Datteln, \Vestphalia, (Jrermany, have invented newand useful Improvements in Barrel- Hoists, of which the following is aspecification.

This invention relates to an apparatus for raising and lowering barrels,the invention being particularly designed for transferring barrels fromthe street or yard to the cellar.

By my invention the barrels are not liable to become injured while beinghoisted and the men manipulating the hoist are not exposed to dangerfrom the barrels in motion.

In the accompanying drawings, Figure 1 is a' side elevation, partly insection, of my improved barrel-hoist; Fig. 2, a horizontal section online A* 13*, Fig. 1; Fig. 3, a side elee vation, partly in section,taken at right angles to Fig. 1; and Fig. I, a detail of the barreldelivering gauntree.

The letter (1 represents a vertically-movable or reciprocating platformadapted to travel between the street-level and the pit or cellar. Theplatform (Z'lS concaved, as at a, to readily seat a barrel A and is herepro vided with a pair of slits or openings 7). Screw-shafts (Z, one ofwhich carries a crankhandle 7L, engage tapped openings or nuts of theplatform. These shafts carry sprocketwheels f, connected by a chain g,sb that the platform will be raised or lowered by turning the handle it,as will be readily understood.

If it is desired to increase the speed of the hoist, a multiple gear maybe introduced.

\Vithin the pit or cellar are mounted a pair of stationary upright armsZ, arranged in vertical alinement with the openings 6, so that as theplatform is lowered to a level below the upper ends of the arms thelatter will be projected through the platformandlift the barrel A. Thearms "1' have an inclined upper surface or run, Fig. 3, along which thedisplaced barrel will roll upon a receiving-gauntree 7:, placed in thepit opposite the lower ends of the arms. At right angles to the gauntreeZ: is mounted in the pit a two-armed lever Z, fulcrumed to a support Z.at Z and projecting with one of its arms beneath the platform a. Thevertical elevation of the arms i is greater than that of the lever Z, sothat the descending platform (Z will encounter the arms before tiltingthe lever. Opposite the lever Z there is arranged in the pit adeliverygauntree m, set at right angles to the receiving-gauntree 1:.Between the gauntree m and the lever Z may be arranged a suitableabutment for liberating but one barrel at a time at'each tiltingmovement of the lever. This abutment is shown to consist of a curvedstop at, fulcrumed to gauntree m at a and carrying at one end a lightweight g. The other end of the stop a is connected to lever Z by a chaing, carrying a heavy weight As the lever Z is tilted by the descendingplatform a the barrel A on the lever will roll upon the platform readyto be hoisted. By the tilting of lever Z the weight will be raised, Fig.I, to permit the descent of the weight g. The weight g will thus swingthe curved stop '22 up against the last barrel A of gauntree m, andthereby hold the row of barrels in position. As the platform a ascendsthe lever Z is released and the weight will pull the stop down, so thatthe barrel A may roll upon lever Z.

It will be seen that by my invention a barrel rolled from thestreet-level upon the hoist a is first lowered and delivered to thereceiving-gauntree and that then a barrel from the delivery-gauntree isautomatically deposited upon the platform ready to be elevated. In thisway they hoisting of the barrels is facilitated and accelerated, whileinjury to the workmen from the barrels in motion is avoided.

lVhat I claim is 1. A barrel-hoist provided withaverticallyreciprocating eoncaved slitted platform,a pair of stationaryarms below the platform and having inclined runs adapted to be projectedthrough the same, and a receiving-gauntree opposite the arms,substantially as specified.

2. A barrel-hoist provided with a verticallyreciprocating platform, areceiving-gauntree, means for automatically discharging a barrel fromthe platform to the receiving-gauntree, a delivery-gauntree mounted atright angles to the receiving-gauntree, and means for automaticallydelivering a barrel from the deliver \;'-ganntree to the platform,substantially as spccilied.

3. A barrel-hoist provided with a verticallyreciprocating slittedplatform, a pair of stationary arms having inclined runs and adapted tobe projected through the platform-slits, a recei ving-gauntrec oppositethe arms, a delivery-gmintrce placed at right angles to the receiving-gauntree, and means for delivering a barrel therefrom to theplatform, snbstantially as specified.

&. A barrel-hoist provided with a verticallyreciprocating platform, adelivery-gauntree, a two-arm lever opposite the delivery-gauntree andprojecting beneath the platform, a curved weighted stop pivoted to thedelivery-gauntree, and a Weighted chain connecting the stop to thelever, substantially as specified.

Signed by me at Dfisseldorl, Germany, this 19th day of October, 1903.
